How To Be Good With Money

RTÉ One, 8.30pm

Eoin McGee works closely with a diverse range of people with very different financial goals. In this episode, he meets couple Lynda Slattery and Jason McLoughlin. 

Lynda and Jason live in a ‘granny flat’ at Jason’s parent’s home in county Laois. This living arrangement saves on rent while the couple plan for their own home.

Lynda is a self-confessed spender, while both of them seem to have expensive taste judging by the home of their dreams.

With dreams of self-building, the couple fell in love with a site close to home with an old crumbling cottage on it. They scrambled to secure it by hastily borrowing money from a variety of sources.

Now heavily in debt, they face the realisation that they can’t afford to finance the build.
